Les Silex' Sauvignon Blanc

Domaine de Beauséjour | France

If you love Sauvignon Blanc, the Loire Valley’s Touraine wines are for you. This superb example is rich and aromatic, with a depth and complexity that pairs brilliantly with a range of foods – including shellfish, cheese and asparagus. And, of course, Claire’s moules mariniére.

About the producer
For four generations Domaine de Beauséjour was run by the Trotignon family, who made it into one of the most respected names in the Touraine appellation. Brothers Arnaud and Albéric Lechat took over in 2022 and plan to build on this foundation. Of their 20 hectares, 16 are planted with Sauvignon Blanc – the region’s favourite white grape.

About the region
Running west for 170 miles from the historic city of Orléans towards the Atlantic Ocean, the Loire Valley is one of France’s most diverse wine regions. Studded with grand riverside châteaux once inhabited by kings and nobles, it is also one of its most historic. The climate in the Touraine sub-region is moderated by the Cher River, a tributary of the Loire.

Food and Wine Pairings
Pair this wine with Claire Thomson’s Moules Marinière. A zesty, citrus-led white makes the perfect partner to seafood dishes, so this Loire classic, with mouthwatering grapefruit and gooseberry flavours more than hits the mark.

If you like this, you'll love these.
